“Brooke has been amazing! She’s always on time and updates me just the right amount. We’ve been working with a trainer and she’s very receptive to our new walking routine. So lucky to have found Brooke!”

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”

Lauren M.

“Sabin was terrific in every way - with Murphy and with us. He will take care of your pooch like he/she is his own. He is our go-to dog 'uncle'. Thanks!”

Ellyn M.

“Jacqueline was on time every day and took good care of Nico! We definitely would hire her again if she is available. Thank you!”

“Olivia took great care of our little guy!!”

“Matthew is fantastic. My corgi had some special neurological needs and some behavioral issues as a result. Matthew is patient and kind in all of his interactions with Zeke. He is timely and professional. He put my mind at ease as I returned back to the office. He sends plenty of pictures showing how much fun they are having walking and playing. I would use him again as needed. Highly recommend.”

“This was our first time using Rover and I think I picked a great dog lover. Tamikia was very responsive even with a last minute request. She also sent videos which helped ease my anxiety since we’ve never had anyone outside of family care for Lolo. I cannot wait to book again!”

“Indigo took such great care of my animals while I was away! I got lots of photos and videos of Indigo's walks with my little old lady pup and play time with my cats. They were all in great moods when I got home. I would 100% love to have Indigo's care again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have always had a deep love and respect for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior pet that needs extra patience and gentle care, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine and provide attentive, reliable care whenever they need it, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and are always supervised in a safe environment. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Briana was amazing! She was extremely responsive and took great care of our puppy for us! We will definitely ask Briana to watch Winnie again!”

About: Hi! I’m Leela, an animal lover with years of experience caring for pets through nannying, house-sitting, and helping friends and families with their dogs and cats. I’m responsible, gentle, and attentive, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, and lots of affection. I’m also very comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers calm companionship at home, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I am working as a PhD student at UPenn so have flexible hours and just moved away from my family dog so have no pets currently and would love to care for some animals! I am open to boarding for weekends and a few weekdays! I don’t have any of my own pets at home and have a fenced in yard! I live super close to a park and love to go on walks :)

“Sadie loves her and she’s punctual”

“Danielle had been great with Okami. He's usually very reserved and defensive with new people. But he warned up to her in just two walks. Bonus is that she takes tons of photos.”

“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”

About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

About: Being the oldest, my siblings and pets were always my responsibility. Now that I’m grown I don’t have any kids however I have 5 dogs. I love the fur babies. People think I’m crazy for loving dogs so much. I think they’re crazy for not understanding. I do media coverage for events so my schedule is super flexible as the events aren’t every day. I shoot for a few hours then I have the rest of the day free. I treat pets and property with utmost respect and care. I don’t just do what I’m being paid to do. If something needs to be done I’ll do it as long as it’s approved. If your dog went to the bathroom, I’ll clean it up. Things like that.

About: I have cared for pets for a majority of my life, both for my own and for others. I love animals and have an extensive knowledge on the proper training and care for them. I have done everything from the typical sitting, to bottle feeding, and even animal diapers. I am more than happy to cater to the specific needs of the animal I am taking care of, and always make sure to carefully follow any defined instructions provided by the owner. My house has a gated deck as well as a fenced in back yard for added security. I have a car for any needed transportation or for the event of an emergency. I work full time in center city and live in Manayunk. looking to earn some extra cash on the side.

About: (they/them/theirs) I am a lover of pets of all varieties. I have been dog-sitting a senior dog and a puppy in the same home for over a year. Before moving to Philly, I would regularly walk my disabled neighbor's pitbull, Bandit. Recently, I've been watching cats and studying their behaviors. I have a porch and a fenced backyard for outdoor time. There's also a park right around the block from me. Disclaimer: there is a cat in my home. I now work full-time in vet care so my schedule is limited. I kindly ask to please give me at least a week’s notice before booking with me. I don’t do boarding services because my cat is the head of the household. But I follow all house rules to a tee when staying in your home.
